Doesn't a jet engine have a big enough output ratio that it could produce more energy than it consumes? Wouldn't that be the same as perpetual motion?

You cannot extract more energy than you put into a system. This is a fundamental law of thermodynamics. It is impossible to construct a perpetual motion machine.

But do call me if you get your perpetual motion machine working. I'll be happy to be your first investor.

PS - People on the Internet just seem fascinated by perpetual motion, flat Earth, Zionist conspiracies, and Intelligent Design. You people need to get out more.

A jet engine does not utilize the energy in its own exhaust to keep its turbines turning. It uses a store of fuel, and, once the fuel has been used up, the engine flops to a halt.

Aside from your question, there's something rather important for you to learn about propaganda. Look, please, at Deep Thought's answer to your question, especially:

"PS - People on the Internet just seem fascinated by perpetual motion, flat Earth, Zionist conspiracies, and Intelligent Design. You people need to get out more."

Deep Thought's whole purpose with that statement was to work in "Zionist conspiracies," giving it presumptively equal standing with false or impossible ideas like perpetual motion machines, flat Earth, and Intelligent Design. On the contrary, one of these things is not like the others, and the one that doesn't belong is Zionist conspiracies. Those are real. Israel is the result of one. The slavish servility of the US government to Israel's interests is the result of another. The Soviet Union was a Jewish conspiracy before the Jews turned to Zionism. The Federal Reserve and the Bank of England are both the result of Jewish conspiracies. The American Civil War and both of the World Wars were at least partly the result of Jewish conspiracies, with the Rothschild bankers being some of the Jews involved. The recent war with Iraq was the result of a Zionist conspiracy with Jewish "neocons" like Paul Wolfowitz being some of the Jews involved.

The propaganda technique of lumping a truth into a basket otherwise full of lies, in order to make that truth seem like a lie as well, probably has a name, but I don't know what it is. Be wary of it, and be wary of fast-talkers who use it.

i imagine you would possibly want to correctly be at a loss for words as to what the critics truly recommend even as they say perpetual action. i visit plug a motor right into a wall socket and, given no positioned on and tear, the motor will run forever. What a perpetual action device skill is that no outdoors skill is proficient into the equipment, or if there is, there's a internet output of skill from the equipment that equals the enter. Even those nifty little floaty magnetic tops that drift finally quit turning because of friction from the air. you would possibly want to possibly positioned the magnetic suitable in a vacuum, yet even in an business "vacuum" there are nevertheless adequate molecules of gas to paintings at the same time with and finally quit the device. And through ways, those critics for whom no staute has ever been equipped? easily one of them develop into Einstein. There are some statues of him, truly.

okay, here's why: Friction. if you could TOTALLY eliminate friction, you might have a chance at perpetual motion. and with a jet, it has a higher output of thrust than what it takes in in air, but it still requires fuel for both the turbine itself, and the afterburners(if it has 'em)

Nope, jet engines put out no more than the amount of energy consumed in fuel, either as thrust or heat.

Not a chance! Once the fuel runs out it stops. No such thing never will be.

No, definitely not. Fuelled by kerosene, without that it cannot work
